Brooke, founder of Landsea Gomasio, found an abundance of bull kelp and nettles on Orcas Island, where she lived, at the same time she met a neighbor who taught her classic Japanese cooking.  It was in these friendly cooking moments that Brooke learned about Gomasio.

We asked Brooke how she came up with her own personal blend and she told us, 


“I realized this classic blend would be the perfect starting point from which to incorporate some of the nutritional wealth of the land and the sea. I replaced the salt with the more complex salinity of Bull Kelp and the bright note of Nettle. The result is Landsea Gomasio; a blend that supports the body with both the wisdom of tradition, and the nutritionally rich flavors of my home.”

When my daughter bakes something with this delicious cocoa – I will take a bite for you too!
